Good point! I didn't think to take any in process photos till I had removed the ballast and ties bu this pic shows that after i had pulled the spikes and lifted the rail I placed white butcher paper on the ties and pencil etched the ties to duplicate, as I wanted to use the same pieces of rail already filed, etc. The wire from the switch machine remained in place, and the track would be laid back down in reverse of the norm, starting with the points. I reckon this will be interesting.
